Herman Wallace may be the longest–serving prisoner in solitary confinement in the United States—he’s spent more than 40 years in a 6–by–9–foot cell in Louisiana. Imprisoned in 1967 for a robbery he admits, he was subsequently sentenced to life for a killing he vehemently denies. Herman’s House is a moving account of the remarkable expression his struggle found in an unusual project proposed by artist Jackie Sumell. Imagining Wallace’s "dream home" began as a game and became an interrogation of justice and punishment in America. The film takes us inside the duo’s unlikely 12–year friendship, revealing the transformative power of art. A co–presentation with the Center for Asian American Media (CAAM).
